Apk downgrade fail

[w1nmat]

Hello,

I tried to perform WA APK Downgrade on my Poco F5 Pro, Android 14, but after reboot Avilla fails to install legacy apk.

So, I tried to do the downgrade with a legacy APK I have, and I got this error at the same point where Avilla fails to install. The error said:

adb: failed to install wa_legacy.apk Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEPRECATED_SDK_VERSION]: App package must target at least SDK version 23, but found 19]

So I found a solution which is:

adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block wa_legacy.apk

I think this can be a solution for Avilla too.

Cheers

When attempting to downgrade an APK, you might encounter issues such as errors or failures. This typically happens when the version you're trying to install premium apk is older than the currently installed version, or if there are conflicts with app data and settings. Additionally, some apps might have protections against downgrading to prevent potential security risks or compatibility issues. To resolve these problems, ensure that you uninstall the existing version of the app before attempting to install the older version.

Hello, I knew the failure reasons and the Avilla's WA legacy APK is the same I successfully (and manually) used. My issue/report would be a suggestion/start point for an investigation/solution for others that can be manually perform apk downgrade.
